Ping from the Radar – A letter from the Editor

Fox October 13, 2014 Feature Leave a comment 24 Views

Hi GamesRadar readers!

It’s been a long time since I’ve shared a picture of my dog… err, an update with you all. We have some new editors that have joined since my last update. They’re all awesome and very excited to be here, so please take a moment to say hi and get to know them!

But there’s more! I’m very excited to announce that we’re expanding GamesRadar to be more than just a games site, and that means welcoming a whole new bunch of people to the family. You want more free content right? Who doesn’t?!

Chances are, you’re like us and love other forms of entertainment, not just video games. I want to introduce you all to Dave Bradley, the Group Editor-in-Chief of SFX and Total Film, two wonderful brands that you may already be familiar with, either by checking out their respective websites, or via their excellent magazines. Dave and his team are joining the GamesRadar family, providing awesome movies and TV features that will complement our games coverage. Our talented games team is still focused on bringing you the most entertaining, informative features out there, and Dave and his editors will keep you up to date with all the brilliant movies and TV shows that you’re (probably) watching too. Stuff like The Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, Doctor Who and more. If you like our voice, then you’re going to love how our SFX and TF covers TV shows and movies.

I’m letting you know early so that when we go live with a new movies and TV channels in the near future, you’ll know what to expect. Please join me in welcoming the new members of the team! We’ll have an updated editorial bio page for them all soon, so you can always reach out with any questions to us directly. We love to hear from you!

Thanks for your continued support. I’ve asked Dave to share some thoughts below!

Hi folks! Thank you Sophia and thank you all for making us welcome on your amazing site. I feel like we’re teaming up, Avengers style. Can I be Iron Man?

As Sophia’s hinted, we’re going to create a supergroup of entertainment, erm, stuff all in one place. Let me introduce what we bring to that assemblage. Total Film is the modern guide to movies. It’s one of the biggest film titles in the world and Future’s bestselling magazine. It’s edited by Rosie Fletcher. SFX is the market leading science fiction, fantasy and horror magazine. Launched in 1995, it’ll soon celebrate its 20th birthday, and it’s edited by Richard Edwards. Both teams are experts at gathering news, reviews, interviews and features about films, TV, books, comics and more, and we’ll bring all that into the GamesRadar fortress from November.

You’ll start seeing some of our detailed TV reviews appearing as soon as this week, for the likes of Doctor Who and The Walking Dead. Then from November all our excellent Total Film content will be ported over to GamesRadar for you to check out, including our reviews of every movie, and some fantastic, fun features. You’ll get dozens of posts a week covering all the best in big and small screen entertainment, as well as trailers, competitions, book offers and all the cool things we’ve been covering for years – now available right here alongside everything your favourite site already does. Sweet.

I look forward to hanging out here and seeing you guys every day. Please do get in touch with suggestions and feedback. Be seeing you, Dave

Ping from the Radar – A letter from the Editor

Fox August 2, 2012 Feature Leave a comment 24 Views

Dear GR readers,

Hello! My name is Sophia Tong and I’m the new Editor in Chief of GamesRadar.com. If you haven’t stumbled across my bio somewhere, here’s a quick summary: I grew up in the frigid white north known as “Canada,” have worked at GameSpot and IGN, love games (especially point-and-click adventures), love to eat, take embarrassing photos of my dog (as you can tell), and take long, extended naps on weekends. When I’m not busy doing any of the above, I’m at work, leading a talented group of individuals from all over the world (US, UK and AU) who are dedicated to making GamesRadar the only place on the internet you want to visit! Well, maybe one of the two.

As you may have noticed, GamesRadar has been evolving, and we’re entering another exciting phase that’s going to be bursting with fun new content and a new look. You may already be aware of the new star-system review scale and the spiffy new game summary pages. But wait – there’s more! The hard-working engineers who do their thing behind the scenes are looking to make sure that GamesRadar looks its best, so be prepared for some homepage and site improvements.

Now before anybody freaks out at the thought of “change,” I want to make sure you know that we welcome your feedback. GamesRadar is your site just as much as it is ours, and we want to hear what you want out of the site as we’re evolving. You can leave your thoughts here in the comments, or you can contact me on Twitter (@sophiatong). I am more than happy to address any questions or concerns you might have, and it would be nice to hear from you guys once in a while.

In the meantime, I wanted to highlight some of the exciting new content we have in store for you. We recently introduced a great new feature called GamesRadar’s Game Club, similar to a Book Club, where we pick a game in our backlog and play through it in digestible chunks, then get together to talk about it. We encourage you come join in on the discussion.

Besides working on all-new content, we’re still keeping up to date with our weekly Top 7s on Mondays, and on Wednesdays we’ll be making our way through our 100 best games of all time to show you why each game made it onto our carefully curated list. You’ll also be able to find news, reviews, previews and other fun features to share, so please, chime in and take part in the discussion. We’re even doing some debates on gaming’s toughest issues.

And yes, we’re going to be doing some podcasts. You like podcasts, right?

We’re happy to see that you share our love of games, and we hope we’ll be able to give you the kind of content you want alongside some new stuff that’ll pleasantly surprise you! These days, gamers have a ton of things competing for their attention, so we’ll be trying to sift through all the white noise and showcase the games that are worth a look. We figure, if it’s on our radar, it should be on yours.

Happy gaming!

Sophia Tong
Editor in Chief
